Oct 04 11:16:40 <timmy_slug> hello is anyone about?
Oct 04 11:19:13 <timmy_slug> ah well if anyone pops by i'd really appreciate if you could let me know an example X11 app you can give me for the slug so i can test this out.  gtk-demo doesn't seem to run and vte is no longer in the repo... cheers
Oct 04 11:46:34 <HRH_H_Crab> timmy_slug: what are you trying to test?
Oct 04 11:46:43 <HRH_H_Crab> X apps running on the slug and displayed elsewhere?
Oct 04 11:46:47 <HRH_H_Crab> id use xclock.
Oct 04 13:12:10 <timmy_slug> thanks HRH_H_Crab
Oct 04 13:13:01 <timmy_slug> ipkg install xclock = not in the repo... where do I get it from?
Oct 04 13:43:34 <HRH_H_Crab> it should come as standard with X
Oct 04 13:43:35 <HRH_H_Crab> unless you are using a proper linux distribution (debian basically) on your slug, it might be a pain to find X apps.
Oct 04 13:43:50 <HRH_H_Crab> im no expert on the other distributions. 
Oct 04 13:44:01 <HRH_H_Crab> actually,
Oct 04 13:44:15 <HRH_H_Crab> the way i typed that makes me sound a bit "snobby" about the other slug distros.
Oct 04 13:44:36 <HRH_H_Crab> i obviously respect the good work that they've done but i choose to use debian.
Oct 04 14:01:23 <timmy_slug> sorry to sound like a complete n00b - i'm typing 'xclock' as root in the root directory and it can't be found
Oct 04 14:01:54 <timmy_slug> i'm not yet up to speed on unix systems when you can just type the application name from anywhere and when you need to be in the correct directory
Oct 04 14:18:55 <HRH_H_Crab> well,
Oct 04 14:19:09 <HRH_H_Crab> if its installed it should be in roots path.
Oct 04 14:19:20 <HRH_H_Crab> you can cd to /
Oct 04 14:19:39 <HRH_H_Crab> and try "find . -name xclock"
Oct 04 14:19:48 <HRH_H_Crab> that should confirm whether its installed or not.
Oct 04 14:20:09 <HRH_H_Crab> it would be quicker to use "locate xclock" if thats installed.
Oct 04 14:20:19 <HRH_H_Crab> (which it might not be on an ipkg based distro)
Oct 04 14:21:02 <HRH_H_Crab> what distro are you running on your slug anyway?
Oct 04 14:29:41 <timmy_slug> unslung
Oct 04 14:30:06 <timmy_slug> nothing found for it with the find and i don't have 'locate' installed :)
Oct 04 16:10:33 <timmy_slug> any idea?
Oct 04 16:11:00 <timmy_slug> I'll have to go now but be back tomoz, thanks HRH for the help thus far
